A washington Post Book World "Best Book of the Year 2006". A New York Times "editor's choice."
I selected it based on awards and was not disappointed. A rich story of family and community life in the early 1900's in Montana. A family of four applies for a housekeeper after the death of the mother. The person who arrives with her brother, changes their lives forever. The story is told in the first person by one of the sons. Much of the story revolves around a one-room school house, but there are sub-plots and a surprise ending. Cpeyton
